The valence bond theory explains the basic theory of chemical bonding i.e. the formation of the covalent bond between the atoms with the help of quantum mechanics.
- According to Linus Pauling, a covalent bond formation takes place between two atoms by overlapping of their half-filled valence orbitals.
Each of the valence orbitals contains one unpaired electron.
- There are two types of overlapping orbitals: sigma (σ) and pi (π) orbitals.
Single bonds: one sigma bond
Double bonds: one sigma bond and one pi bond
Triple bonds: one sigma bond and two pi bonds.
Orbital hybridization: When bonding orbitals possess or share various characteristics of different types of orbitals.
